But then, by 7 a.m., once she was up, Bub was not there.

And not like he had packed up and left, his bag still in Vanessa's car, and he couldn't have left without her anyway because she's the one who drove.

But according to Allie, his phone and wallet were gone too, like all the stuff he normally had on him.

So at first, they thought that maybe he just went to find the bathroom or maybe he took a walk.

But after a few hours pass, they end up reporting him missing.

Gonzalez asked about drinking, medication, anything that would change the urgency.

And they say, no, Bubba doesn't drink.

And this comes up more than once.

They're adamant.

Now, there were other people drinking, but according to Allie, nothing was out of control or anything.

Though she does mention that her boyfriend, Ernie, may have been drinking a little more than she would have liked.

When our reporter Madison spoke with Allie, she said that there may have been something going on between her and Ernie because of his drinking.

But whatever it was, it wasn't a blow up and it didn't even involve Bubba.

She said at most Bubba might have been upset just because Allie was upset, but that's it.

According to her, soft spoken Bubba wasn't involved in anything that she would even label as an argument, let alone an actual altercation.

So within 15 minutes of responding to this report, Gonzalez is already circling around an explanation.

OK.

I think he's right about that.

Depending on what part of the country you're from, you might hear camping and think trees and forest, but this campground's mostly flat, almost as far as the eye can see.

And no one sees Bubba.
